1970 cuda Barn find restoration

[Mark Thornton]

My son just bought a 70 Cuda 383 4 speed car Missing Engine, Resto Work started then abandoned. we are planning full rotisserie restoration. We did a 71 Big block back in the early 90's, unfortunately, he had to sell it and regretted it ever since . This one happenes to be his favorite as well Plum Crazy . looking forward to posting pixs in the future .

Thank you all this is a Father son project , I built him a 71 BB in the late 90's but he had to sell it broke his heart, As I built it for him and I am getting up there in yrs so this is his last chance for me to help him with the build..

My son wants to make a resto-mod, with a 440 with Fuel injection No carb.5 speed Tremec trans also custom from seats out of a late model . also wants to lower it and install Foose wheels. keeping the same color Plum crazy . I may widen the rear wheel wells as well to put wider tires on. Any Suggestions will be welcomed on this build

Tiburon seat are a great fit , use the 60s B body diff, use offset spring hangers & move the springs inward using a DR diff offset & it will bolt in , should be able to get at least a 305 wide tire in the rear without cutting . I would upgrade the suspension rather redesign it , the 70s Mopar suspensions were very good as is & with better sway bars ,springs & shocks can corner at over 1G

Where can I buy the offset diff parts Who sells them ? What yr Tiburon?

 

[Chryco Psycho]

DR Diff / Cass for the offset spring mounts & any diff needs
Any year Tiburon , they were not made for many years
